Media & Journalists
To contact the UC Press publicity department regarding requests for review copies, author interviews or events, excerpts, or general queries, please consult the guidelines below and email askpublicity@ucpress.edu.
Review Copy Requests
If you are a journalist interested in a book or journal copy for review, we can supply gratis copies of titles published within the past two years. For titles published more than two years ago, gratis copies are fulfilled on a case-by-case basis (and may only be available for review in ebook format).
Please include the following in your email subject line:
- Name of book and author
- Your media outlet
- For time-sensitive requests: indicate URGENT/need by date
Please include the following in the body of your email:
- Full contact information (name, mailing address), along with any deadlines
- Links to your outlet's website, along with book and author coverage you’ve featured in the past
Review copy requests can take up to four weeks to process. Due to the volume of requests, we are unable to provide status updates. Upon publication, please send PDFs and/or links to coverage to askpublicity@ucpress.edu.
Download Cover Images
Hi-res cover images are available for many of our titles and do not require permission for publicity use. Search for a book's product page using the search in the upper-right corner of the site and click "Download a high-res cover image" beneath the cover image. If a larger image does not appear, a hi-res image is not available.
